Mission

METHOD & OBJECTIVES

The method by which the Salesian Center realizes its mission and goals is to bring professionals and community leaders in a variety of fields together with members of the university campus (faculty, staff, students, and/or alumni) to collaborate in programs of research, dialogue and partnership as means of contributing to our culture.

With such collaborative efforts on campus and in the broader community, the Salesian Center sets forth the following objectives for its work:

• to provide support for continuing and specialized research, in terms of time and space, as well as material and financial resources

• to provide a forum for the interdisciplinary exploration of topics related to the integration of faith and culture

• to provide new means for disseminating the results of research and dialogue undertaken or directed by members of the Center

• to provide the organization through which members of the campus community can collaborate with other groups and institutions dedicated to the advancement of faith and culture

• to become internationally recognized as the primary place for the study of Salesian spirituality and its application to life in the contemporary world, and

• to become a distinctive vehicle for promoting the objectives of the Offices of Enrollment Management and of Development at DeSales University.
